broccoli
This may seem like I'm kidding, but I'm absolutely serious - Perkins broccoli is fantastic. Sometimes I go there just to have broccoli, believe it or not. Tonight, my friends and I went to a Perkins near us for dinner (partly because it's near a Home Depot, but that's a different story). Everyone knows their breakfasts and baked goods are delicious (their eggs benedict is great!). But isn't it surprising that their broccoli is beyond yummy? For more than a year we'd noticed this and I finally asked and apparently they actually do have deliberate and high standards for broccoli. Who'd have thought?! They buy locally grown broccoli when they can, and they steam it in those big industrial-size steamers to very exact specifications. Anyway, it tastes fresh, light, neither tough nor soft, never too hot or too cold. I even brought some home it reheats well. So now there are no excuses to avoid broccoli - you'll WANT it!
